Abstract
A process is provided for producing ethylene (co)polymer nanocomposites in a high pressure polymerization reactor. The process by which nanocomposites having organically modified clays incorporated and intimately dispersed therein involves polymerizing ethylene and one or more optional comonomers under high pressure polymerization conditions in the presence of an organic peroxide initiator and organically modified clay.
